I'd be more concerned that someone was that much of a selfish douchebag to take up so much time in public airplane toilets. Take the time when the plane lands, or if you're really in THAT much of a hurry to get to your meeting shave before the flight.

An airplane bathroom is one of 2 limited facilities for a few hundred people. This is so selfish. And, if you're going to do something like this, be prepared that people are going to wonder wtf you're up to. It's not their fault. You laughing and making jokes after is even more offensive to everyone who had to wait. Next time arrange for and allow time for this when you arrive. Even the airport bathroom would have been more suitable. This guy is just after attention with his dumbass post.

So, you got up "at night" with a backpack and locked yourself in the bathroom for a very long time and somehow you're surprised people called flight attendants?

This is the epitome of being selfish and inconsiderate. Then for the pièce de résistance, he occupies the bathroom just a little bit longer in order to get a selfie. When somebody calls him on it, he plays the victim card. This guy is a piece of garbage.

I'd like a Muslim to chime in on the ”freshening up” rumor. I know cleanliness in extremely important to that faith, but so are beards. I never thought about body hair in that regard.

haha some of these comments are ridiculous. I always bring a toiletry bag with me on the plane on both long and short flights AND I USE IT. Traveling just makes you frumpy people. *also I'm Italian- just thinking about hair makes my hair grow back ugh

What an a*****e. Hair could really clog the tiny sink and render the bathroom unusable. The terrorist part is plain idiotic but that doesn't make him less of an a*s.

How selfish can you get? Aeroplane toilets are not personal grooming spaces, they’re for everyone. The reason it was so cramped was because it’s for using the toilet, not shaving themselves. Which begs the question, what was he even doing with a razor on the flight anyway?

Those who said he's selfish - didn't you read that he went to the bathroom while most of the pax were asleep?

Its a shame that a small portion of extremists within a region of people ruin it for the rest. You see it with every group. Middle Eastern, Europeans, Americans, Christians, Catholics... you name it. But even as a ginger I had some bowel issues on a plane and was "interrogated" upon leaving the bathroom.

Everyone's getting on his case about getting ready in the bathroom. While I understand that such a cramped space that's meant for other people to use shouldn't have personal things done in it, that's not the message of this story. Whether he should've gotten ready in there or not is another debate. The real message here is how quickly people judge and assume things about others

I like how he handled the situation tho. I Know people who will be calling for the lynching of the airline after the incident.

I understand the need for emergency shaving, although hogging a toilet for a while is a d**k move, I understand. However, what I am failing to understand is, he said, "what was in the bag (snacks, iPhone cables, some books, clothes, and my toiletry bag)" so why not just take the toiletry bag with you? You go in the bathroom with a whole backpack, of course, there's going to be some concerns. One more thing, I thought any kind of razor was not allowed in carry-on luggage.

Lesson. Don't shave.

I'm glad they're still very vigilant about these things. With everyone ready to be so offended, people are hesitant to go there.

Isn't illegal to have a razor im the plane? They take all sharp objects from you, even a nail clipper. This sounds fake to me

Damn...he's hot. Is he single?

To everyone complaining about using an airplane toilet for too long: if it was a long haul flight (as it clearly was, as they had switched off the lights for the passengers to sleep), there would be no problem using the bathroom for a few minutes more, as there would probably be 4-6 toilets available.

To all you guys complaining: Have you ever been on a long haul flight? There are more than one toilet. In fact, sometimes as much as six. And since it happened when most others where sleeping I don't see a problem in occupying a toilet for a few minutes more than usual. Everyone is complaining about a non-issue.

I'm glad he was so understanding and the flight crew handled everything perfectly. Too often people are discriminated against and presumed guilty without a chance to defend their innocence.

sorry you had to be exposed to people paranoid racist ideas. - how would you even get something through all the checks in a normal bag anyways. keep taking it in good mood, kill them with kindness and turn them around. definitly looking good.

Not one word would be said if it was say, a 20 something year old pretty white girl.
